lwoodIn the Bay Area?
Yeah, that was an earthquake. 3.9, 3 miles SE of Berkeley (or 3 SW of Orinda, as you like).

Feh.

Hey, how are you enjoying the building? I saw you that one day, when I was sick as a dog, and not particularly social, but haven't seen anything but your car since then.

I'm up here in 3C -- ditto goes for the car thing. It's the silver Echo in the last space just in front of the gate/door/entrance.

Date: 2003-09-05 11:58 pm (UTC)In a related item, I was talking to my credit card company, telling them about my new digs and when they'd get their money. I made the phone person break script (I always like doing that -- in the pleasant way, natch). The call center was in Kansas, and she was talking about how they'd been rained on rather a lot recently.
"Ma'am," I replied sympathetically, "I'm from Ohio so I know from thunderstorms, but now I live in California. If the hills aren't falling on us because there's an earthquake, it's because there's a mudslide, and if it's neither of those, someone probably set it on fire anyway."
Apparently, that made me Quotable. ;)

Date: 2003-09-05 09:07 am (UTC)I...don't...like...earthquakes. I prefer, if at all, to hear about them on the news, rather than feel them under my feet. Furthermore, based on my experience with them, earthquakes don't like me either.
Glad to hear everyone's all right and that casualties were limited to only a plastic Odin. (But shouldn't he've been sitting on the dashboard of a car?) ;)

Date: 2003-09-06 12:00 am (UTC)You're on The Pacific Rim. We get earthquakes, that's what we do.
Of course, even the Rust Belt isn't safe... when I was in grade school we had a 5.0 in frigging Cleveland fer cripes sake, and a 3.2 a couple years later.
